Chapter 1: The Unforgotten Years

One last hoorah out before leaving for Iraq... and it was exactly what I needed!  I had the wildest weekend out in quite some time.  I'm pretty sure this past weekend's antics even surpassed my birthday's in terms of what would be deemed 'socially acceptable'.  I was in a form that...

When I first posted the entry about the letter I sent to David, I receive a note from an insightful reader.  Although I had written that I didn't want to know if David had gotten married, this particular noter replied that it might actually be beneficial.  It might help me to move past ...

Well, David did the one thing that I asked of him.  He didn't tell me that he's gotten married... and has a new baby.  Imagine my surprise when I received an angry email from his wife this morning, complete with pictures of their 'happy' family and wonderful life together.  Sh...

As another weekend winds down, I find myself reflecting on how odd it's been.  The past has once again reared its ugly, yet often beautiful, head. Bobby bought a camera and the full version of UNO for his 360.  Apparently, he thinks I have even a minute interest in video chatting with h...

I'm officially addicted to my Xbox 360.  I don't even call it an Xbox anymore.  It's now referred to as the 'Uno Box'.  Most players were, at first, refusing to stay in a room with me since I couldn't show my face, so I bought a $40 webcam early last week.  I can't even c...

What a fucking week.  Today was the first day all week that I actually left work on time.  The only reason I made it out the door by 5pm was because I had a salon appointment at 5:30.  I mentioned in my last entry that I've been assigned a couple of projects with impossibly cl...

So, I realize that most of you are probably not huge wrestling geeks like I am, but this is pretty noteworthy.  As you may or may not know, Wreslemania, the mecca of all things sweaty, manly, and muslelicious, is April 1st.  There will be a special event at this year's competition -- th...

Have any of you seen that new pregnancy test commercial?  The ad displays the slender, rotating stick before a midnight blue background, showcasing the new, improved digital readout -- "Pregnant" or "Not Pregnant".  The announcer speaks smoothly with a quite dis...

I've had quite an unentertaining weekend.  Let's recap, shall we? Friday night, I met with artist boy at a little dive called the Yukon Tavern.  As I mentioned before, he and I have been chatting on MySpace since I moved here.  He contacted me simply because I listed art as an inte...

I apparently spoke too soon about the sunny, sixty degree weather we've been enjoying for the last week.  This morning I woke up to a beautiful day.  It was sunny, breezy, and around thirty-five degrees.  However, it quickly started to cloud over.  As I left for lunch aro...
